Thinking of this, Buyantu finally stabilized his mind, and then ordered in a deep voice: "Pass on the general's order, send people to Shengjing, Fuzhou and other places to ask for help, and at the same time order all the Manchu and Han soldiers outside the city to return to Lushun City as soon as possible to garrison, and the whole army will rely on Lushun City, and fight to the death until reinforcements arrive!" ”

"Whew, the minions obey!" The herald ran out in a puff of smoke.

Soon, the naval fleet of the Tiance Army cleaved the waves, came at high speed, and rushed all the way to the vicinity of Lushun Pass.

This time, in order to attack Lushun, the navy sent a huge lineup of one dock landing ship, one supply ship, two coast guard warships, six maritime surveillance warships, and four passenger and cargo ro-ro ships. Among them is a new type of ship - a hospital ship.

The real number is also the wooden motor cargo ships, the total number is as high as sixty. In other words, in addition to the 5,000 army units, 30,000 labor immigrants also arrived at the same time. It can be seen from this that the battle plan of the Tiance Army against Lushun was to arrive on the same day, occupy it on the same day, and land on the same day.

At this time, the Qing troops in the observation forts on the seaside had already fled back to Lushun, leaving only empty forts.

The naval warships of the Tiance Army launched an artillery bombardment on those observation forts during the voyage, and quickly smashed those empty forts, which can be regarded as a fire reconnaissance.

As imagined, it was difficult for landing and anti-landing operations to occur in this time and space, and the Qing army could not be seen on the shore.

Although Lushun is a natural harbor, the tonnage of the warships of the Tiance Navy is not comparable to that of the warships of this era. So the first to enter the port was a maritime surveillance warship, which measured the hydrological depth in the port and guided the fleet into the port.

While the fleet's speed was slowing down, two coast guard warships and four coast surveillance warships were divided into two groups, one east and one west, heading for the two wings of Lushunkou, and they were to carry out the task of blockading the Isthmus of Jinzhou, 60 kilometers to the north. Once the Isthmus of Jinzhou, which is only five kilometers wide, is blocked, the area from Lushunkou to Qingniwa (Dalian) will become a turtle in an urn.

"Report to the commander, according to drone reconnaissance, the Qing army has withdrawn a large number of field troops, all gathered in Arthur City. Now the soldiers and horses of the Qing army in the city have been prepared for defense at the four walls of Lushun. ”

After listening to Li Zixuan's report, Wang Yue smiled and said, "Zixuan, this battle is commanded by you, I only want the result." ”

Li Zixuan stood up and saluted: "Yes, commander!" ”

Wang Yue hoped that his generals could grow as soon as possible, so that he could save a lot of worry. With the strength of the Lushun Qing Army, it is completely pediatric for the current Tiance Army.

The two security corps that came together this time were all equipped with Type 56 submachine guns, all of which were manufactured by the Starting Point City, and the current output of the 56 Type 6 submachine guns in the Starting Point City had reached 500 units per month.

However, the output of bullets is still a little unable to keep up, so the bullets used by the two security corps are modern products provided by Wang Yue, so the shooting reliability of the gun is still very stable.

In addition to the Type 95 submachine gun, there are also Type 95 heavy machine guns that are also equipped with these two regiments, and the heavy machine gun is also a modern product. In addition to each of the 36 37-type guns, the two regiments are also equipped with four M2 105 mm howitzers, with no more than 2,000 shells, which are imitations made in the starting point city, and the barrel is 45# steel provided by Wang Yue, so the manufacturing time is saved.

This time this kind of artillery was brought to Lushun, which also meant to practice in battle, and Wang Yue named this kind of artillery as the 38 howitzer.

The M2 105 mm howitzer was also considered a heavy artillery in World War II, with a range of 11 kilometers, a rate of fire of eight rounds per minute, a wheeled version drawn by horses, and a total weight of 1.85 tons.

In addition to these weapons, each soldier also has four grenades, so the firepower of these two security legions is still very strong.

After the naval warships of the Tiance Army docked, Type 99 tanks, 155 self-propelled howitzers, armored vehicles, and amphibious assault vehicles came ashore one after another, followed by the Tiance Army, the Marine Corps, and the Security Force.

After the army went ashore, they quickly launched a siege of Arthur City, followed by all kinds of construction vehicles and fuel tankers.

Standing at the head of the city, dressed in fine iron armor and wearing a high-needle red-tasseled helmet, he frowned and looked at the Tiance army roaring back and forth like a rolling torrent. All kinds of steel monsters let out non-human screams, quickly blocking the four gates of Arthur City, and then looking at the mountain-like giant ships in the distance, Buyantu's heart continued to sink.

Compared with the pretending to be calm, Xu Erxian, the commander of the Han army in the city, was already frightened with a face that could not be concealed.

The obese Xu Erxian, with a pair of eyelids swollen from overindulgence, kept blinking up and down, and he whispered to Buyantu in a trembling voice: "Lord Buyantu, this Tiance army is fierce, can this Lushun City really be defended?" ”

For unknown things, human beings will have an instinctive fear, the more Xu Erxian can't understand the various equipment of the Tiance Army, the more afraid he is.

With an extremely disdainful look, Buyantu looked the anxious Xu Erxian up and down, and then shouted softly: "You are also the deputy general soldier who commands thousands of soldiers and horses, how can you be so cowardly that you can be intimidated by the bluff of the Tiance Army?" Our army does not engage them head-on, but only holds the city, and what can he do to me. The general has already sent people to invite reinforcements, and survived these few days, and when the reinforcements arrive, our army will attack with its internal and external attacks, how difficult is it to break the army this day? ”

The corners of Xu Erxian's mouth were embarrassed, and he wanted to speak, but Buyantu interrupted coldly: "General Xu, you and those people outside the city are all Han Chinese, why are you so cowardly and useless compared to them!" It is important to arrange the defense of the West Gate. ”

was beaten in public like this, Xu Er's face was dull, his face was hot, and he was very ashamed in his heart, so he made a low promise, and walked towards the west gate in a gloomy manner.

To be honest, Bu Yantu ridiculed Xu Erxian like this, and he was also cheering himself up. Now, he pinned all his hopes on these Tiance troops because they came in a hurry, they didn't have enough siege equipment, and the strength didn't seem to be huge. In Buyantu's view, the longer the time drags on, the better it will only be for him.

It's just that when Bu Yantu, who was standing in the East Gate Tower, looked at the two Type 99 tanks, four 155 self-propelled howitzers, and four 105 mm Type 38 howitzers slowly coming in the distance, Bu Yantu's face turned pale.

What is the caliber of the Hongyi cannon? It is 11 to 130 mm, and the caliber of these ten cannons is from the eye, and all of them are on top of the Hongyi cannons.

It can be seen that the artillery power of the Tiance Army should not be small. If so, wasn't it wrong from the beginning to defend the city?

An unprecedented panic surged uncontrollably through his heart.
